SUPER IMPORTANT! Leave me a comment letting me know you follow and that you have Grabbed my Button (so I can go Grab yours to put on my Blog !)

Tree 13!!!! One to go! Cant believe I have made it through 13...Now I have to get MY 4 trees put up and Decorated...YIKERS! This Tree I call "Simply Christmas" because it is just simply ornamants and colors that have to do with a Traditional simple Christmas tree....You could Pop some Popcorn, string it and add it to this Tree and it would fit right in! Im going to be somewhat brief on these pics as I have My own trees to 'Get After'...Aaaaaand, as you can probably guess...They are not simple...Its that Interior Designer "OCD" thing I have!!! Enjoy tree 13 and all its simplicity...

As this is "Back to Traditional" the Red and Green with some Gold, color scheme has been the color palate chosen:)

These Framed pictures were EXACTLY THAT...Picture frames that I added ribbon to...you could put old Santa pics in....OR, family snapshots or the kiddos school pis as they grow through the year!I have done this on MY Personal tree...LUUUV IT!

This "house" i did that thing Im ALWAYS tellin you to do...I "nesteled it back into the tree" for depth...it draws the eye inward......I have ACTUALLY had people take time in looking at my Trees, bend over and look back inside there...if it captures THAT MUCH attention, i say its a good thing!

HELLO Wall Decor on the tree!!! Another of my favorite tricks :)

Floral stems= Tree topper!!!! Just stick em in!

More Birds....i LUUUURVE em...TRACI! LOOK OUT for the BIRDS!!!Sorry...just a lil inside joke to my Friend Traci over at the The Traci Chronicles (Check her out! Sweet girl, being Stalked by ALL birds! Its a funny story!)

Arent they CAAAAUTE????TRACI! RUUUUN! Run Traci Runnnn! Isnt that from a movie??? RUN FORREST!!! Im TRULY Lauging Out Loud now...its 6 am ....im not usually even SPEAKING at this time..Must have Coffee first! Thanks Traci!

Heres that cute lil tabletop piece up close...Oooohhh! Traci! You could use this as a BIRDHOUSE!!! Uuugg! Lauging so hard my abs hurt!My kids and husband are lookin at me VERY CONFUSED (considering i normally am not speaking at this point!)

Simply GORGEOUS!!!!

The red pinecones are PERFECT for the "Classic Red" needed :)

Aaahhhh! SWOON! LOVE THESE!

HELLER Santa! Look out for the BIRDS!Sorry Traci! Im having ENTIRELY to much fun :-O

These would be a super easy DIY!!!

Those Picture frames again...different but SIMPLE!

Love the tree. I am all for the traditional and this fits the bill perfectly. Looks like fabulous ornaments collected over time and that just spells Christmas to me. Gorgeous. Hope you have a super day. Hugs, Marty

Oh, WOW, now that is my kind of tree! You've outdone yourself. The colors, the ornaments, the tree topper...everything is beyond gorgeous! The tree is very elegant...love, love, love it!! If I had the $ I would copy everything about that tree, well done! XO ~Liz

Did someone say cinnamon roll? That would be really good right now. Anyway, the tree is great!! Thank you so much for the shout out. Although, I'm sure anyone reading this is going to think I'm some sort of bird phobic weirdo. I guess maybe I am?! I think more of a bird poop phobic weirdo. I'm so behind in my blog reading. I didn't look at anything over the weekend. Anyway, thx again!!!

I love the trees you've been posting. Have you ever done a step by step guide to how to decorate them? My trees never seem very full, and I don't know how to give them that 'professional' kinda look that I really like - any tips?;-)

Kara, WOW, you are my sister in Christ and you are my sister in Home Decor Land and Christmas Decor land !! Love your tree, mine are similar.. You have inspired me to get my decor blog active again..I want to share my Christmas trees also.

I have followed you, "liked" you on FB and added your button to my blog http://justheavelydecor.blogspot.com Unfortunately, I don't have a button yet.. so can I let you know when I get that complete??

Hi Kara,Love your name (Kara) a a friend with the same spelling. I am so pleased that you would admire my peaceful blog of spreading inspiration.

I am in love with the theme you have with Christamas. and notice you love the birds as well :)

I just sold a Merry Christmas Hand painted sign with branches of berries and a hand painted bird by artist (me) Dore' I will be featuring one on my next post for I will be posting my altered wire Table top Christmas tree, hopefully over ThanksGiving! So do come back for a visit.

I will enter your giveaway and post it later tonight.

Thank you for your beautiful encouraging words to my simple pleasures over at my place.

I am a new follower to you as wel:)and will continue to follow a fellow designer.

GORGEOUS!!! I love having a color pallette in my own home that allows me to use some more traditional Christmas colors. And I love this tree! The drums around the bottom were perfection and give me an idea of how I could incorporate that into our Family Room tree which is our fun one we do with the kids. Thanks for the great inspiration!Vanessa

I like the houses. Have fun decorating your family trees. I do three, but have to spread that out over a week or else I get really sick of it and start being really sloppy. I've enjoyed all your trees that you've shown and have gotten some ideas from them..

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Still have the brown one as my favorite! But this one is so cool! I blog early, and when I start laughing at 5:30am, I get some weird looks, too. Been cleaning and moving stuff from room to room today, getting ready for you know what to go up this weekend! I'm not even allowed to say it until Friday!Hope you got your trees up!Hugs- Tete

Your trees are just fabulous!!! Love every single one of them! Love the houses and snowmen on the drums you used at the bottom of the tree. Too cute!! Yes, I am exausted from my show. I have houses to decorate through Wed. and then I will get a break! Maybe...Ha! I had way to much stuff crammed into my booth. I was almost embarrassed to show it! I did not have enough space!lol...anyway, I was glad to sell alot of it. I will be doing a giveaway right after Thanksgiving. Do you still want to do it together? I'm not sure how you want to do it, but I'm game! Just let me know what to do...Thanks for stopping by!! Kristen

Wow!! You have a beautiful blog. I love your gorgeous trees.. I too like to push things back into the tree to draw your eye in. Thank you so much for being so kind with all your comments about my blog. You made my heart sing.. I'm your newest follower. Looking forward to getting to know you.. hugs ~lynne~

This is just beautiful! I've been checking out some of your other posts (trees!) and, so far, the gold leaf and green is my favorite -- really stunning!
